A dogs trader carries dogs in cages tied onto his bicycle on his way to a dog meat restaurant in Hanoi 16 December 1999. Dog meat is very popular in northern Vietnam, especially in the winter months when people seem to consume more food and the big dog meat restaurants make a killing by selling several hundred kilogrammes of dog meat per day.
